About Ninth Bar

Ninth Bar is an independent review site for UK home baristas. We compare espresso machines and coffee grinders with verified pricing, geo-aware delivery information, and honest affiliate links.

This is an indie site run by a coffee enthusiast — not a media company or a publisher with a product team. Every page reflects genuine interest in helping people make better buying decisions, not maximising affiliate clicks.

Every product page shows the current verified price, delivery estimates for Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and any customs implications. We update prices regularly and show you when each price was last checked.

Our approach

We believe buying an espresso machine is a significant investment. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make a confident decision — specifications, real-world performance, pricing transparency, and direct comparisons between models you are considering. Reviews are based on hands-on testing supplemented by community feedback, so you get both first-hand experience and a broader picture of long-term reliability.

Affiliate disclosure

Ninth Bar earns commission from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links. This does not affect our editorial independence or the prices you pay.
